Chapter 9 Chapter8 The other is also one

In December, the heating has been provided, and the inside of the house is warm, and there are two worlds outside the door.As soon as Ah Heng entered the door, he felt a rush of heat in his hands and feet. The decorative features of Yan's house are evident in the photos on the wall, one by one, like a scroll, very clear and bright.But the strange thing is that those people and things are laid out on the wall, as if they have been endowed with a new soul, and there is a steady stream of warmth and...indifference. "Yan Xi took it." Seeing her staring at her, Siwan smiled, and followed her gaze to look at those works, his eyes were very bright, "Ah Xi is very talented in art, he often runs around when he is free, sketches and takes pictures , everything can be done.”

"The picture in the corner was taken when we went out to play together last year." Siwan pointed to the photo in the corner and asked her, "Guess where it was taken?" Ah Heng stared at the picture intently, becoming more and more confused the more he looked at it.It is clear that the water smoke is lingering, as if it is in the clouds, but a few brownstones are born out of nowhere, with strange shapes and natural formations. She shook her head. Yan Xi patted Si Wan angrily, and then walked towards the kitchen. "Under the hot spring, he squatted there to take pictures." Siwan looked at the photo and smiled, "That guy can always come up with some weird things."

Ah Heng also laughed. Looking at the picture, she approached involuntarily, stretched out her hand, and touched the cloud and brown stone.The peaceful eyes gave birth to a kind of desire and envy. "Next time, take me with you, okay?" She looked at Si Wan and said Nuo Nuo. Her father taught her that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books.She yearns for warmth, and even more for wandering.This wandering is a bold idea, but it is not a rebellious adolescent. Whether it's Yunheng or Wenheng, she will behave well.However, freedom is the nature of a teenager, and she wants to walk occasionally and change the same.

Of course, looking into Siwan's eyes, she knew that her request made him difficult. "Okay." A muffled voice came from behind. Ah Heng turned around and saw Yan Xi squatting aside, obediently holding a white porcelain bowl, her mouth was filled with dumplings, her eyebrows and eyes could not be seen clearly in the black broken hair, but her lips were so tender and beautiful. "Thank you." Her palms were sweating, relieved. "Yeah." Yan Xi didn't have time to talk to her, looking at the white and fat dumplings, she was satisfied. Siwan was a little surprised, but still smiled.Since Yan Xi made the decision, he has no right to comment.

"It's time to eat dumplings, children!" A short, fat middle-aged man in an apron came out of the kitchen with dumplings, and looked at the teenager and girl in front of him with a smile. "Xiaoxi, go to the restaurant to eat, what do you look like squatting here!" The man scolded with a smile, looked at Yanxi, and kicked him. "Ah, Uncle Li, I let you bring it out, how can I feel sorry for it." Siwan strode forward and took it politely. "Is this Ah Heng?" The man looked at Ah Heng. "Aheng, this is Uncle Li, Grandpa Yan's security officer." Siwan whispered to Ah Heng.

"Uncle Li." Ah Heng said in a low voice with his eyebrows lowered. "Okay, okay!" The man nodded, his face was relieved, and tears almost came out.Then, he walked up to Ah Heng, stroked her hair lightly, and said softly, "Good boy, just go home, you have suffered." Ah Heng was a little dazed, Siwan was also stunned, only Yan Xi continued to bury her stuffing dumplings. "Guard Li!" Yan Shuai's loud voice came from the restaurant. "Here!" Uncle Li gave a military salute with a loud voice. "Ah, you two, why don't you let me have a good meal!" Yan Xi was startled, coughed loudly, was choked by the dumplings, and she shed tears, her complexion was as red as a peach blossom.

Guard Li stepped forward and patted Yanxi on the back until he spat out the dumpling stuck in his throat. "Ah Xi, you listen to it eight times a day, why aren't you used to it?!" Siwan fed him with water and said with a smile. "Grandma's!" Yan Xi sprayed water on Siwan's face. "Aheng, eat more, your ears will freeze when it's cold." Mrs. Zhang looked at the girl beside her, nagging, "I made it with your Uncle Li, it's delicious!" Ah Heng nodded sharply, biting the dumplings in small mouthfuls in the dense water vapor. "Can everyone find out what kind of stuffing it is?" Guard Li smiled and looked at the young and old around the dining table. He has always been good at adjusting the atmosphere.

"Well, there are shrimps, pork, and sea cucumbers." Siwan thought about the toughness of the meat on the tip of her tongue, and her dimples were a little intoxicating. "Winter melon, bamboo shoots." Old Wen said. "Ginger powder, diced green onion, cooking wine, chicken essence, broth." Mama Wen sipped the soup and spoke. "It's too bad." Guard Li smiled. Everyone savored it carefully and exchanged glances, all quite puzzled.what else?The ones sitting in front of him were all tricky eaters, and it was fine if they couldn't guess one, and guard Li could be considered capable if he stumped a table.

"Mother Li, you are so unkind. Who would have guessed such a tricky thing?" Yan Xi burped, wiped her mouth with a napkin, her beautiful big eyes were bent, and the color of water was flowing.He drilled through the kitchen ahead of time and knew what else was in the stuffing. "Where is it tricky? It's something that everyone often sees." Li Jingwei was not annoyed when he heard the boy's address, and was used to his own child's poisonous tongue. How could he not be clear about the virtues of the child he raised? "Girl, tell me." Yan Shuai looked at Ah Heng for a while, seeing that she had been silent, trying to tease her to speak.

Ah Heng raised his head, and his voice was a little soft and glutinous: "Orange peel." Then, he retracted his head into the dense water vapor, biting the dumplings in small bites. Everyone was stunned and looked at Guard Li in unison. Li Jingwei smiled more and more kindly, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes squeezed together: "Ah Heng is right. The pork I bought today is a bit fatty, not four fat and six thin. I was afraid that Xiaoxi would be picky, so I chopped the orange peel and put it in. It's greasy, and it's fishy, ​​just right." "Ah! Mama Li, you know that I don't eat fat, but you still abuse me! Master, I want to deduct your salary! Deduct it immediately! Deduct it immediately! The appeal is invalid!" Yan Xi curled her lips, and her slender and beautiful hands couldn't He kept playing with the TV remote control.

"Hey, don't worry about it, you don't need to worry about it, our salary doesn't belong to you." Guard Li laughed. He enjoyed State Council allowances for his first-class meritorious service during the war, and worked as Yan Xi's nanny in Yan's family, doing voluntary labor for the sake of his old boss. Others serve countless people, but he serves only one people.This one, unfortunately, is a brat who has one foot in a mental hospital and one foot in Mars! Yan Xi felt that being filial to his old nanny was a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation, so he closed his mouth and lazily buried his head in the sofa. Ah Heng ate a lot, but Grandpa Yan persuaded him attentively, so he could only imitate Si Wan, sipping dumpling tea, being polite and wasting time. Occasionally, through the mist, I saw that boy in a hazy way, watching TV on the sofa, with black hair covering his forehead and soft red clothes, he was very good-looking. When he was a guest at Yan's house, Ah Heng never saw Yanxi's parents.At first I thought it was because I was busy with work, but after I heard the fragmentary conversation between my grandfather and my mother, I guessed it, and then I gradually understood. It turned out that Yanxi's parents were diplomats stationed in the United States, and they left the country when he was less than one year old. Grandpa's exact words to his mother were as follows: "Xiao Xiye is a bit wild, but his parents are not around, and Yan Shuai is not good at raising children, so it's the child's life to be able to talk to him. Let Siwan play with him. Going back to play is good, but Yan Xi's temper can't be learned." Hearing this, Ah Heng felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't know why.She went upstairs silently, doing English questions non-stop. It's funny to say that Ah Heng has no talent in Mandarin, but he can speak English fluently. According to Siwan, he has the potential to betray his country. Siwan has a friend who grew up together, surnamed Lu, who is studying in Vienna. When they talk on the phone, they often talk in English and take the opportunity to practice their oral English. Once, when the phone rang, Siwan happened to be busy with other things and didn't have time to answer the phone, so she asked Ah Heng to answer it.Ah Heng held back his Mandarin for a long time, but he didn't hold back "Ni Hao", but the other party said: "Hi, Siwan?" "No, Siwan has something at hand, this is his sister, please wait a minute." Ah Heng was a little excited, and thought to himself, it was the first time he came to City B to speak so neatly. Siwan's hands were busy, but her eyes were idle. After seeing Ah Heng's expression, she laughed so hard that her stomach cramped. "Err?" On the other side of the phone, clear and magnetic standard Mandarin. Ah Heng was silent for a while, and said to the other party very seriously: "Another, another..." After hearing this, Siwan was stunned. After a while, he smiled and looked at Ah Heng with a very sincere and beautiful smile. um, another one? It seems... not completely unacceptable.
